Abstract: A method and apparatus for resolving floating point and integer ambiguities in a satellite position navigation system is disclosed. A rover station is periodically positioned at unknown locations and has a satellite receiver capable of receiving the navigation signals. By calculating relative position coordinates between a base station in a known location and the rover station, and by calculating other position parameters relative to the satellite position, a geometric constraint based on a measured elevation angle between the rover and base station can be incorporated into data computations and processing to help resolve carrier phase ambiguities. The elevation angle is measured by transmitting multiple laser beams to an optical sensor on the rover station. This technique results in greater precision in determining the location of the rover.

Abstract: System and method for device-independent color gamut mapping is disclosed. The system recognizes that a finite set of color gamut mapping intents form the basis for performing color gamut mappings during document rendering and implements a color mapping method for each of the color gamut mapping intents. For each color in a document to be rendered, the system obtains a desired color gamut mapping strategy expressed as a combination of the color gamut mapping intents and performs each of the color mapping methods on each color to obtain basis color maps for each color. The system then constructs a mapped color for each of the colors in the document based on the desired color gamut mapping strategy associated with each color. Furthermore, weight values may be used to further define the combination in the desired color gamut mapping strategy.

Abstract: Provided are a structure for an optical device and method of fabricating the same. The structure includes: a light scattering layer producing nanoparticles due to externally provided thermal energy; a protective layer protecting the light scattering layer; and a capping layer disposed between the light scattering layer and the protective layer. As the light scattering layer is formed of nitride-oxide, an energy gap is increased to make the structure suitable for a high-speed electronic circuit, and a desired stoichiometric ratio can be easily obtained. Also, the capping layer prevents crystalline mismatch, thus the non-uniformity of elements is inhibited to maintain a stoichiometric state. As a result, a high-integrated high-speed electronic circuit, which is excellent in uniformity and reproducibility, can be easily embodied.
